YouTube streamer and content creator Guy “Dr Disrespect” Beahm’s game projectDeadropis in development, but the face of the studio has kept it largely under wraps. In a stream earlier this week, the two-time answered a question from a viewer donating to theYouTubestream aboutDeadrop, revealing that he trusts the marketing experts hired to do their job to deliver most of the news.
Deadropis being developed by Midnight Society, a game studio founded by the self-proclaimedformer face of Twitch, Dr Disrespect. The game is said to be a vertical extraction game that combines elements of FPS shooters, battle royale games like PUBG, and extraction style games. Some of the more important inspirations behind the game include the survival gameEscape from Tarkov. The game was announced in August.

According to Dr Disrespect’s answer to the fan (at 1:01:38 in the video), he could berevealing details aboutDeadropall day, every day. Updates are being made behind the scenes constantly and continuously. He seems visibly excited about the features that are scheduled to be announced in upcoming Snapshots. However, he wants to let the excitement linger a little and trusts that the marketing team is going to do a good job at presenting the evolution of the game.
Midnight Society has been revealing what it calls Snapshots into the development process. Snapshots are development team’s streams that detail some ofDeadrop’s more important features, content, and game mechanics that have been added to the game after the previous update.
However, Dr Disrespect doesn’t leave the fans completely high and dry. He reveals that the team has been working on movement and level mechanics, and the game is starting to develop aproper FPS-style movementat this stage. He admits that it is still largely just building the foundation of the game, which is to say that it is still early in development. However, he is excited that the current stage lets them determine how fast-paced the game is going to be.
Deadropis still going to be a low time-to-kill (TTK) game, which means that exposing the character can result in a very quick elimination, as the team has intended from the beginning. This also affects the pace of movement, which, according to Dr Disrespect, is going to be fast butnot as fast asCall of Duty. One of the current challenges is to make the game feel fast with movement mechanics that aren’t as fast as some other games. He also revealed that while there are going to be regular Snapshots of future developments, there are also bigger reveals ahead.
Deadropis currently in development.
